Talk:Roger's Baby

Me reading the plot to Roger's Baby. "Fucking what?" ~Curious Poker Chip 3:33 p.m. December 1st, 2016 (Pacific)

What is with Seth and fetishes. This episode will have a birthing fetish. Will we see a vore fetish next? I hope not! ~ghmorello 10:56 p.m. December 1st, 2016 (Central)

Somebody on Reddit mentioned that they were expecting this to be about Betsy White returning after all these years. That probably would've been much better than the likely train wreck that this is gonna turn out to be.--ThomasVeggieDramaFan (talk) 06:53, December 2, 2016 (UTC)

Zap2it was pitching the Betsy White idea as well which is why I don't use them. --Buckimion (talk) 16:14, December 2, 2016 (UTC)

Don't you worry. My dream is to write an episode of American Dad! and that will (probably) be the episode synopsis. ~Curious Poker Chip 11:34 am. December 2nd, 2016 (Pacific)

Part Two of Bahama Mama
So it turns out that this episode plus the last are that two-parter I've been hearing about. Knowing how "Great" the last "Two-parter" was ("Daesong Heavy Industries") I cannot wait to see how both of these episodes fail to connect to one another on top of how this episode will likely be American Dad!'s answer to "Stewie Is Enceinte".

Now more than ever do I wish that this was instead about Betsy White...--ThomasVeggieDramaFan (talk) 05:18, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

We only have 10 confirmed episode titles (next week, the 6th of those episodes will air), and if Hayley and Jeff did conceive, do you think a new Smith will be born within the season?Ghmorello (talk) 05:56, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

I don't expect them to have a baby at all because this show really is that f**king predictable and lazy!--ThomasVeggieDramaFan (talk) 06:31, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

The good news is that they are not really trying to make a two-parter, but two stories connected by a thin margin of overlapping plot. I can live with that. "Daesong" wrote a check that the writers couldn't cash. --Buckimion (talk) 10:34, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

They probably won't be able to cash this check either just based on the synopsis. Either way, I'm expecting it to end with Hayley & Jeff deciding not to have a baby because that's how obvious and lazy this show's become. And they already did this crap once with Francine in "The Unbrave One"!--ThomasVeggieDramaFan (talk) 14:22, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

As a father, I can point out that babies are boring. Ever notice how shows go for the precocious youth like "cousin Oliver?" --Buckimion (talk) 16:25, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, but this show at one time was one that would try to subvert the tropes it was playing. But now, they just go for the lazy/obvious with no attempt at subvertion which is more noticable here when (as I already pointed out) they already did this crap nearly five years ago. I'll give it to "The Unbrave One" though, at least that was only a subplot in one episode and not the primary focus for at least two.ThomasVeggieDramaFan (talk) 17:00, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

I just like how the writers just forgot about "The Vacation Goo" where Hayley was infertile. But I don't blame them because that was my least favourite episode.

As for the Stewie is Enceinte comparison, while it does sound like that, I do think that the American Dad! writers will have a funny twist on it like they usually do. This whole "Jeff is an alien" crap was probably the thing that made Mike Barker leave and it opened up a can of worms that the writers have to deal with. ~Curious Poker Chip 1:27 p.m. December 6th, 2016 (Pacific)

If it was written by any of the pre-Season 8 writers, than maybe. Can't really seen any clever twist happening with any of the post-Season 9 writers who mostly go the obvious/lazy route and replace all of the show's clever wit and humor with lame attempts to be "Edgy" (which mostly boils down to a forced mandatory utterance of the word "S**t" at least once an episode). Mike apparently left five episodes into that Season 11's production (which would've been "Scents and Sensei-bility"), so I'm pretty sure he was long gone when they came up with the stupid "Jeff is an alien" BS.--ThomasVeggieDramaFan (talk) 21:59, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

Am I the only one who's getting tired of seeing shows or continuing series end various relationships with just marriage? Even when the married couple or the couple who fans want to get "shipped" get pregnant and give birth, it's a sign of a final season.Ghmorello (talk) 22:48, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

Well, the show's been renewed for at least one more season after this one. Though honestly, the show was maybe better off ending after Hayley and Jeff were married as it's been mostly crap ever since...--ThomasVeggieDramaFan (talk) 23:14, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

Dr. Calgary
Is that Dr. Kalgary in the picture. ~Curious Poker Chip 6:00 p.m. December 7th, 2016 (Pacific)

Sure looks like him, but see if they give him another name first. --Buckimion (talk) 02:05, December 8, 2016 (UTC)

Stupid Little Episode
While it wasn't nowhere near as horrendous as I thought it would be, this was still kinda bad. The fact that they ultimately pulled the same thing they already did with Francine nearly five years ago AGAIN really shows how lazy, creatively bankrupt and undeserving of still being on the air this show has become (even before moving to TBS). As soon as this plot was announced back at Comic-Con, I instantly called them deciding to not have the baby because that's how predictable and obvious this show is now...

The subplot was also completely pointless and it doesn't help that I already hate those stupid Morning Mimosa bitches.

I guess the only good thing I can say is that with Jeff being human again it probably means that the tedious Arc Fatigue of Jeff being in space/the stupid "Jeff is an alien" BS will finally be put to rest and no longer have it's existence potentially ruin somewhat decent episodes (like last week's and "Lost in Space").--ThomasVeggieDramaFan (talk) 03:22, December 13, 2016 (UTC)

I don't get why some creators are afraid of having a couple have a baby and even when they do, they go from conception to a time skip to the kid being 3-5 years old. One day Jeff and Hayley will have their child (which sadly will probably be a girl), but don't give up hope yet. Ghmorello (talk) 04:07, December 13, 2016 (UTC)

I think Mike Barker leaving played a part in why they're afraid to try and do anything different anymore. They're more than likely gonna repeat what they already did with Francine and just have her consider it, give up, and never acknowledge it ever again. Honestly, I ask why they even bothered since they pretty much already did what you just mentioned with Greg & Terry with Libby and unlike what you mentioned they had her growing up casually from baby to little child over the course of multiple seasons. Too bad she's no longer relevant now that Terry's out of the picture.

And watching the episode (which really did give me some "Stewie Is Enceinte" vibes), I still firmly think they just should've had this be about Betsy White instead. It likely would've been better than this train wreck.--ThomasVeggieDramaFan (talk) 04:17, December 13, 2016 (UTC)

Season Count
Read the Episode Guide for the full story. Because TBS has changed the season count at least once a year every year under their control, we follow their original 2014-based count until further notice. Season counts on other providers are NOT accepted here. --Buckimion (talk) 16:12, November 5, 2017 (UTC)
